This item covers two matters: SISAB's referral response regarding a proposal to develop Piazza Odenplan and investigate closing part of Upplandsgatan to traffic, which SISAB welcomes as it strengthens children's access to green spaces but has no specific comments on since none of their properties are affected. Additionally, a financial monthly report for January 2026 from SISAB shows the company's loans increased by SEK 443 million, with a monthly interest rate of 2.68 percent.

The City Planning Administration has drafted a new detailed plan for the Snöklockan 4 property in Vasastaden, near Odenplan. This plan proposes building a six-story courtyard house with approximately six new smaller rental apartments, while also preserving and developing the existing building. The aim is to boost housing supply, enhance the courtyard with green spaces and stormwater management, and allow continued use of current premises for housing, offices, religious activities, and community purposes.

Councillor Hanna Werner (M) proposes making Odenplan greener, safer, and more vibrant with additional trees and flowerbeds, and better adapting the bicycle garage for e-bikes. The City responds that they are already working on improving Odenplan with greenery and measures for the bicycle garage, but larger reconstructions are not currently relevant due to the ongoing subway expansion.

The Liberals propose restoring and preserving historical parks like Humlegården and Vasaparken, suggesting new installations match original designs and small kiosks be permitted to liven up the spaces. However, the City Executive Board finds existing efforts already protect the parks' cultural-historical value, rendering new directives unnecessary.

The Centre Party proposes that Stockholm comprehensively address the city's avenues and older trees by inventorying them, developing a strategy for their protection and development, identifying new locations for avenues, and transforming Karlbergsvägen into a green esplanade. The City Executive Board responds that much of this is already covered by the city's ongoing work with a new tree policy, new tree care guidelines, and an upcoming tree database, and that planting trees on Karlbergsvägen is difficult due to underground infrastructure.

The Moderate party's Andréa Hedin questioned why it hasn't become easier for seniors to drink alcohol at senior housing and community centers, despite promises from Commissioner for the Elderly Torun Boucher (Left Party). Hedin highlighted that Väduren senior housing in Vasastan has banned liqueur with Thursday coffee and asked why this differs from Hornstull service house, which is now seeking temporary permits. Boucher responded that the city has actively worked on solutions that comply with alcohol law while respecting seniors' self-determination, stating that a solution was found for Väduren where residents can arrange their own events with alcohol. Furthermore, new support has been developed for city districts to simplify the process of applying for serving permits for occasions like holidays.

The Moderates questioned the city's plan for improving Hötorgshallen and the market trade at Hötorget, citing a dilapidated area and departing vendors due to poor standards, suggesting permanent outdoor seating to enliven the space. The Commissioner for Housing and Real Estate countered that Hötorgshallen is thriving with increased visitors and sales, while acknowledging maintenance needs. Extensive investigations are underway to clarify ownership responsibilities for the complex property, and the city is working to develop the market trade and create a more pleasant square environment with cultural experiences and seating.

Council member Sara Svanström (L) proposed that Stockholm map and secure dangerous pedestrian crossings, especially for pedestrians and people with disabilities, following 4092 traffic injuries in 2023, many involving pedestrians. The District Administration replied that traffic safety is already prioritized in the city's 2026 traffic safety plan and budget, which includes enhanced safety for vulnerable road users and a continuous mapping of crossings.

The Liberals propose transforming Odenplan into a "Piazza Odenplan" with more greenery, market stalls, outdoor cafes, and art, by closing part of Upplandsgatan to traffic to create a unified space. The district administration welcomes the idea of a greener, more pleasant urban environment but notes challenges regarding traffic, crowds, and design. They will conduct an analysis to determine how Odenplan can be developed into a safer and more attractive public space.

A motion from Leif Söderström (SD) proposes widening Stockholm's Klarastrandsleden from two to three lanes, including a reversible middle lane, to alleviate congestion, reduce emissions, and relieve Essingeleden and inner-city streets. The administration, however, suggests weighing this proposal against the city's comprehensive plan, which envisions Klarastrandsleden as an urban development area where the road could be transformed into a more urban thoroughfare with housing to create a safer city.

Moderate council members Dennis Wedin and Petra Gardos Ek have proposed that the city address illegal street racing on Strandvägen, where cars reach speeds of up to 200 km/h, suggesting increased police presence, municipal security guards, speed bumps, and speed cameras. The administration agrees on the need for action and recommends that the traffic office investigate and implement suitable traffic safety measures, such as dynamic speed deterrents, to stop the street racing.

Dennis Wedin (M) has submitted a motion to improve cycling in Stockholm, proposing the Traffic Committee be tasked with upgrading and expanding cycle paths, improving signage and lighting, and installing 10,000 new bike racks. The administration welcomes this initiative as it aligns with the city's cycling plan, which aims to make cycling easier and safer through a cohesive network and clear wayfinding.
